International Economic Law in One Podcast

Learn about International Economic Law in a single podcast. The presentation starts with a reflection on colonialism, decolonisation and the New International Economic Order. We then discuss national autonomy and the concept of permanent sovereignty over natural resources. Then we move on to consider the institutional framework of international economic law, focusing on the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Our presentation would not be complete without an investigation of the regulation of foreign investment and the role of multinational corporations in relation to human rights and labour standards. We finish with a presentation of the World Trade Organisation and the history of international trade and its social, economic and environmental impacts.
